Hello colour lover!

After the success of last year’s Colourful Christmas gift blog, I thought I’d do it again, bringing to you a list of handmade, handcrafted and unique colourful gifts from around our colour filled world.

Once again I put a call out my Instagram to see who wanted to be on my colourful Christmas gift blog and the response again was overwhelming.

I’ve handpicked some of my favourites from around our colourful world. Beautiful handmade items direct from the maker.

Not only will you be supporting a small, independent business, the good news is their products are available all year round, so if you have a birthday, anniversary, need a thank you gift, or maybe even to treat yourself you can always pop back here.

Check out the colour list below…
